About The Long Win

Cath published The Long Win: The Search for a Better Way to Succeed in October 2020 drawing together her personal and professional experiences across Olympic sport, international diplomacy, and working with organisations to coach and develop leadership and culture.

The Long Win was acclaimed as one of the Financial Times’ Best Business Books of 2020 and one of the Daily Mail’s best sports books of 2020 – few (if any) books have ever featured on these two lists simultaneously! Cath was invited to speak to conferences in business, sport and education and to work with leaders and organisations to share and apply The Long Win approach to support leaders to create thriving workplaces and sustainable performance environments.

Cath revised the book for a second edition (published in May 2024), The Long Win: There’s More to Success than you Think, updating and refreshing the core stories and adding a chapter with short stories of leaders putting The Long Win into practice. This website aims to support the book, the ideas and frameworks within it to help you to bring The Long Win to life in your context.
